There is another small problem with symmetric nodes. When I change a node from corner or smooth to symmetric, the node does change. However its symbol does not. It goes to a square rather than a small rectangle. Is this also a node editor bug?
The same thing happens with the nodes in calligraphic tool.

they might have the handles lined up, but that doenst make them smooth nodes, if you move one handle, the other doesnt move too. smooth nodes would be squares instead of diamonds (different again from symmetric)
As I explained in this thread, this is a problem with the node editor, not with freehand tool. You might want to file a bug for it, or try to fix it yourself (it's simple; when loading the path into SPNodepath, just consider the node smooth if its handles are collinear and there is no sodipodi:nodetypes).
